Ed F. McFaddin, Associate Justice.

This case results from a traffic mishap which occurred on July 30, 1960, when a pickup truck driven by J. W. Wagnon was struck by a car driven by the appellee, Raymond Porchia. Wagnon was killed and Porchia was injured. Porchia filed action against the estate of Wagnon, claiming that the collision was entirely the fault of Wagnon. Mrs. J. W- Wagnon, as Special Administratrix, filed answer, denying that Wagnon was negligent; and she also cross-complained against Porchia for damages, alleging that his negligence caused the collision and the death of Wagnon.…
